Promoter Fifty Cent of SMS Promotions and Thompson Boxing are close to finalizing a deal for interim WBA jr welterweight champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (22-0, 16 KOs) and former WBC Silver jr lightweight champion Juan Carlos Burgos (30-1-1, 20 KOs) to headline a June 8th HBO Championship Boxing card at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. According to our source, the camps of both fighters are onboard and it’s just a matter tying up the loose ends. An announcement should come next week.
